Captain

de Derina Harvey Band

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander; here's the reason why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be than here in Newfoundland
Diddle dee ah da, Diddle dee ahhh da

I spent some time in New York state and nearly lost my mind
That city life's too fast for me nobody has a time
Cement and steel and flashing lights were all that I could see
It may be good for New York state but it's no bloody good for me

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander; here's the reason why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be than here in Newfoundland
Diddle dee ah da, Diddle dee ahhh da (yeah)

In Montreal the Frenchmen say that they own Labrador
Including Indian Harbour where me father fished before
But if they wants to fight for her I'll surely take a stand
And they'll regret the day they tried to take our Newfoundland

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander; here's the reason why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be than here in Newfoundland
Diddle dee ah da, Diddle dee ahhh da (ya)

Now that the oil's on our shores we better take the time
To develop it more carefully or else we're gonna find
What could have been the answer to our poor economy
Has changed our way of living and destroyed our fishery

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander; here's the reason why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be than here in Newfoundland

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred and I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an Islander; here's the reason why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be than here in Newfoundland
No place I would rather be, than here in Newfoundland
